There is a tiny Japanese Earl figurine on eBay, and I placed a bid on it, but someone else is very anxious to own it as well. Not sure if I will continue the bidding war, but I really think it's adorable!

They come from Oklahoma. Was he from there? I can't remember, but in searching for images of those figurines, I saw some shots on Flickr where Isabela posted with someone named something like Momto5dogs had a collection of them, so I thought they might be female. I think that person was from OK too.

that is too cute,. I'm sending out {{{{{{{{{{{{{{good luck vibes}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} for you to win.I'd bid myself but I don't bid against friends. Also, {{{{{{{{{{{{{{good luck vibes}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} for the seller's dog's cancer treatments

Got it! Didn't really want to pay $18.50 for a tiny thing like that, but I've always wanted a little representative figurine to travel with me to remind me of my critters at home. Besides, it will help someone pay for their dog's cancer treatment. I used to pack my four Mutts figures, but now that they charge for every extra ounce on an airplane, I've left them at home on recent trips. I may leave him in his little box on display, but I really bought him to travel with me. I know I should have a cat to represent my cat and a dog to represent my dogs, but he'll have to do for now.
